E-mail a Tree Today


A new interactive map allows you to e-mail any one of Singapore's half a million urban trees. Trees.sg is a new map from the National Parks Board of Singapore. The map allows anyone in Singapore to look up and discover the species name of any of their favorite trees. It also allows them to leave a message for their favorite tree.

Users can click on any tree on the map to find out details about its species, when it was planted and its ecological benefits. More importantly you can also send a tree a personal  'treemail'. This might be just a general message of support for the tree. Or, if you want to be more serious, you could leave a treemail about the health of the tree or post a photo you've taken of the tree.

It is possible to search trees.sg both by location and by species of tree. trees.sg also provides details of walking tours where you can see and learn more about some of Singapore's most interesting and important trees.
